LOL scars is right. DIY's rule, but one time, when I was trying to get my cat off the hanger, I banged it into my head so hard I think my neighbors could hear the gong-like ring. I took a picture of that lump.

Rule of thumb: half an ounce of oil per gallon of gas.

Doesn't really matter. But, I've always liked putting it in before. My thought being the gas would help get all of the oil down into the tank more efficiently. However, I'm OCD about most things such as this, and my car in general.

I always put the premix in first, then fill up...Also, I use 8oz per fill up...That's a little more than necessary though, seeing as the tank is never completely empty when you fill up...To be on the safe side, I would use at least 6.5 if I were you.



On a side note:

DFW Mazdas meet tonight, everybody!...Check the first page for details.

His first one or second one? The first one (dark grey) someone might want to check and make sure the rear strut bar brackets are actually brackets and not pieces of the back plate of computer pci card...

With the reaction from the folks last night about your handy work idk... Ha Ha j/k

So who does the best alignments? The right rear camber is dialed more than the left.

Used to be NTB, but they won't do lowered cars anymore. I had my last one done at Town North.

If you want, you could also call Rotary Performance. At least there you know your car is in good hands.
